What's left behind the scenes

  • To look more convincing in the role of a war veteran, Adrien Brody followed a protein diet during filming.
  • Mark Wahlberg and Colin Farrell were considered for the role of the main character at different times.
  • Filming for this movie began on January 19, 2004. Shooting took place in the Canadian cities of Montreal and Ormstown, as well as in the Scottish cities of Glasgow and in the Edinburgh suburb of Dechmont at 'Bangour Village' hospital.
  • The film's screenplay is based on Jack London's novel "The Strait Jacket".
  • Scenes of Adrian Brody's weeping in the drawer were filmed with maximum realism. Between takes, the actor asked to be left locked inside to better experience the hero's despair.
  • Initially, the love scene between the film's characters was longer, but it was disapproved of by audiences at preview screenings and was shortened.
  • Some signs with numbering for the sixteen boxes, into one of which Jack Starks was placed, appear and disappear throughout the film.
